I'm confuse on how "the world react" to "being a friend" or "being true friend". Most people are friendly with strangers specially if the person is completely handsome or sexy in other words physically attractive. Would you consider that as a friend?

I learned from attending the Bible study, someone said "you must know your friend first, to be a friend", in short know the person first... hmmm I thought "sounds like in the world today I can only have few friends" since I can sense right away if the person has a good or bad motives, and I can feel in terms of knowing the good or bad aura in a person. Never do I want to act like judgemental, but even if I give a certain person "the benefit of the doubt" still ends up "my senses are right".

In my interactions these days, if I sense something negative in the person's aura, I tend to be aloof, as the saying goes "prevention is better than cure", but if that person talk to me in a nice way, of course I will answer nicely. Still seldom will you see me to be the first one to drop a chat. Unlike before, I'm friendly, I don't care much even if I sense the negative side of the person in short "I had so many friends but who secretly hates me"... Is it
"Discouragement, Jealous, or envy"? the tool Satan use to those kind of people around me?
I can never say but all I know "hurt" is what I felt. Anyway, "those days" the past are completely healed and gone.

I watched the DVD movie Clique, there was this line of question "Would you have: a.) lots of friends who secretly hates you. Or b.) A friendless looser?

One thing I absolutely learned from experience "being friendless" or "with very few friends" doesn't mean you're "being a looser", all we need is to have a good relationship with our Lord God and everything will follow in "a good way" and not the other way around. Thoughts, thinking, and what we entertain in our brain are very important as we can never keep anything from God and it will show through the words we use, specially in expressions, "The tag line", as much as possible I don't use any, still I slip my tongue once in awhile but, am aware it is slowly dying in my habits.

Imagine being with people who secretly hates you, waiting for your every little mistake that they can emphasize and create a "tag line" to talk about and make fun with, in short "Blasphemy", the world wants it so bad that entertainment news never runs out of fans.

Eversun Software Phils Corp 2nd Anniversary

Tonight, we are celebrating the 2nd year anniversary of Eversun Software Phils Corp. here in Gap Farm pool side.

At first I don't want to attend because of the venue I knew there are many mosquitoes in that place and I'm very attractive and allergy to mosquitoes.

Anyway, the only thing can make me attend is a text from someone, if he will attend then I will too, otherwise I be home resting. Although our agent supervisor Althone Borja did said "he wanted everybody to attend if my problem is going home easily, he can give me a ride from Gap going to Maa road and I can ride a Maa jeep" I thought that is fair enough and a good deal but I don't want to grab that offer right away I was thinking if I can go home with Cesar Noel along with someone then it would be better. But alas! Cesar Noel went home so early before our dinner started as he was with his wife and daughter.

Anyway even if I take Althone offer I still need to be with someone as it would be evening and I'm not familiar with ("the route of") Maa jeep, we all know it's always much safer to be with someone that being alone.

I receive the awaited text around 12noon, he had the same decision as mine "if you attend I will otherwise I stay at home". Since I have many reason to attend:-

Althone offer and Ma'am Merju told me, "they spend as much as they could within the budget to make a summer party for all of us, the place and food was paid, good for 150 heads and we were only 120 persons all in all and if only 50% of the agents will attend there will be no more summer party" and we were given a ticket one by one ahead of time (~_o) maka-konshensha man ui kung hindi mag-attend

than my reason not to attend "if I didn't receive any text from someone" that's all.

Well, here na, "the text" and let me decide, so I said "okay lets attend! We'll see each other 4:30pm at NCCC Mall Maa cause its near in Gap Farm and we'll ride taxi from there". The plan succeeded and even more, I text My Humble Opinion "I'm going to attend the party". and he replied "to text Salted Bukayo and Your kind of blog" I told him "you text them nalang".

We all saw each other at NCCC Mall Maa - My Humble Opinion, Salted Bukayo and Christian well, anyway though it wasn't really "ahead of time plan", we instantly got (in the party) in a group".

Okay anyway, enough of my story, Now for the party... I was surprise yeah! the place was nice and full system music to the max! I give it a rate of 10 out of 10 for music, in one word "excellent!" I saw my officemates was "having fun" playing parlor games in the pool, organize by the Eversun Software Phils. Admin and Agents Representatives. Everything was well organize.

For the food we have Bar-B-Q pork, Pancit, fish fillete, chicken, and sauteed pork. Over all I would rate the party as 9/10. Why not perfect? Because, for those who don't have plans to have a dip in the pool, like me (I have my period) we have nothing else to do except stare to swimming having fun officemates, while the ambiance of the Gap Farm Pool side was really warm it doesn't have much air, I was sweating like I had a dip in the pool, imagine my long hair was getting wet by my sweat, and I was very thirsty, as soon as I came home I drank a litter of cold water. Whew! The place was absolutely design to make everybody get "In" the pool.

I would like to thank all the Admin and Agents Representatives for making this party for us. I may not be excited to attend at first but after awhile of thinking all the effort, I convince some officemates and even prayed that atleast the attendees will be more than 70% so the admin wouldn't notice who didn't attend. But I'm happy to be a part of our Eversun Software Phils Corp. 2nd year anniversary party and the attendance reached 99 or more!

Sorry, I got home early around 8:00pm got many reasons to leave -I need to be early for church tomorrow and I'm very thirsty/ perspiring like I'm in sauna bath!.
Anyway it was worth it.

Maraming Salamat sa lahat!
